DDI AK with Magpul MOE Hand Guard and Khukov Stock

DDI has begun shipping another AKM complete with Magpul furniture. This time the AK comes equipped with the MOE AK Hand Guard and Zhukov stock. This combination of parts provides broader compatibility with other hand guards should you ever want to replace the MOE Hand Guard since, unlike the Zhukov Hand Guard, this requires no modification to the hand guard retainer. The Zhukov stock provides a folding stock for transport.

Like DDI’s other AKM offerings, these feature a KG Gun Coat finish. The bolt, bolt carrier, axis pins, rear sight assembly, spring guide, and barrel are Fenocite treated for corrosion resistance and increased surface hardness. Speaking of the barrel, it is made to DDI’s specs by Green Mountain and plays a large part in the surprising accuracy that has been reported by DDI shooters. I have not shot mine for groups yet but it has exhibited good practical accuracy out of the box. Each rifle ships with a Magpul AK MOE magazine.

So, if you have wanted to pick up a DDI AK with Magpul furniture but were turned off by the Zhukov Hand Guard, this could be the one. You can find them at several online dealers or your local dealer can order one for you.

Sneak Peek: SLR Rifleworks to Offer AK Hand Guards

SLR Rifleworks released a teaser image that shows their upcoming AK hand guards. The aluminum hand guards will be available in both standard and extended length models. Both of hand guards show plenty of the signature SLR Rifleworks style with obvious design cues coming from their line of AR-15 rails.

ALG Defense Begins Shipping AK Triggers

ALG Defense has begun to ship preorders of their hotly anticipated AK triggers, the AKT. There is no firm delivery date for the AKT-E but preorders are still open for both triggers.

From ALG Defense:

The wait is finally over; ALG Defense has begun shipping preorders for our AK47/AK74 trigger, The ALG Defense AKT. The AKT features ALG Defense’s Lightning Bow which maximizes comfort and ensures a precise shot that your stock trigger could never provide. The AKT is machined from triple alloy steel, coated in a Manganese Phosphate finish to eliminate the threat of corrosion, and comes at a price that can’t be beat. ALG Defense is proud to bring the AKT from our home in North Wales, PA to yours. Currently, we are still taking preorders of the AKT and AKT-E.

 

BFG UWL for Left Handed AK Shooters

It can be a bit of a challenge to mount a sling on an AK-47 (or AK-74) for the left-handed shooter. The rear sling point can usually be worked with but the front sling attachment point isn’t very forgiving for lefties. I have helped a few left handed shooters set up AKs and I always recommend using a Blue Force Gear UWL to turn the standard handguard cap hook mount into a lefty-friendly sling attachment point.

I first noticed Larry Vickers using the UWL in this way shortly after they came out. It is the best solution that I have seen for left handed AK shooters. Now, Blue Force Gear has been kind enough to make a video showing how it works.
